Brown is also a former quarterback turned wide receiver and is a bit smaller than Forcier coming in at 5'10 and 205 pounds. Brown ran in the 4.65 range in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, but seems to have good ability after the catch with the football in his hands. It's also possible the Jaguars could take a look at him as a kick returner.
Brown, who passed for 6,072 yards at Liberty, played receiver his first two seasons at the school, catching 60 passes for 698 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore and 19 for 331 yards and one touchdown as a freshman. Still, two seasons had passed since he played receiver.
“The toughest thing was learning, then trying to go out and run the routes the way coach had explained them,” Brown said. “I went down there with a mindset of, ‘I don’t want to get sent home.’ I was going to come down there, leave it all on the table. I felt like I had something to prove.”
